On August 13, 2009, Volvo Cars will celebrate the 50th anniversary of the standard-fit three point safety belts, which appeared for the first time on a Volvo PV544 delivered Thursday August 13, 1959 to a Volvo dealer in the Swedish town of Kristianstad. Over the next 50 years, the V-shaped three-point safety belt saved well over one million lives. The modern safety belt is the cornerstone of the cars interior safety system, working alongside additional features such as airbags, belt pre-tensioners and force limiters.

Few people have saved as many lives as Nils Bohlin the Volvo engineer who in 1959 invented the V-type three-point safety belt. A design as obvious as it was intelligent and perfectly suited to the seat occupants body. To this very day fifty years later, the safety belt still provides the most effective protection in the event of an accident.www.volvo.us.com
